CPU score is about right for a c2d at 2.0ghz. I'd say your score is average considering you havent overclocked your proc. Try oc-ing it to 2.6ghz then check again

noobie at oc here....takut nanti warranty rosak....ill read up more guides....btw i see other people score all so BEAUTIFUL....but of course thier proc diff from mine....thiers Quad sia.

i think ur proc hold ur gfx performance

i know....i cant upgrade liao....parents dun let seh....maybe after SPM only i upgrade

Even my overclocked E2160 works better.

i am sure there are existing threads for this bro.. just informing you before a mod comes knocking at your door

Overclock your processor,score sure fly one.2ghz to 3ghz huge difference.Also use latest forceware 174.20,score sure better.My 2160 at stock,8800GT at stock is 8000marks only.After oc processor and graphic card,i get 12.6k.

Hurms..
Your score lower than me..
Mine only use 9600GT, my score..

where can i buy Mushkin performance RAM? & how much????

Hardware QnA bro. Here is about OC. And another place u can check is the Garage Sales thread.

I know ATE selling EM2 @ RM 215...

hey guys, usually the 3dmark06 takes how long to check our system ah?
i have this problem, my monitor max is only 1024x768, so when default settings, when i click the run 3dmark, my whole screen will black then i wait awhile, i press alt+tab, then got one notice say display changed and got result liao.

But the result is 2000+ only.

My specs:
amd athlonx2 5000+
2 x 1gig corsair ddr2 667 ram
msi r3650 512mb
biostar ta690g mobo

Anyone can tell me whats wrong? Thanks for helping.



Edit: Nvm, my 3dmark06 settings suddenly changed to 1024x768, i'm using the free one, cannot change settings, but duno why recently i open the setting is 1024x768. My score is around 5.5k.

How large ur monitor is? If 15" sure 1024x768. It runs only about 10mins-15mins. Check ur driver again.

Look at this screenshooooooooooth!



Im with a 15 inch CRT monitor which got 1024 x 768 max resooo. What i got to do if i want to run 3DMark06 with 1280 x 1024 resuuu?

I give you a thumb if you can solve this probleemo

my 3d mark 06 score only 10k+ not really wat i expected wit a 88gt. I guess its my cpu which is black edition n my horrible un-ocable mobo. Or am i wrong?
Recommend me a multiplier to start with . Simply put x15 and FSB 215, stable. If put x15 n FSB 205, crash.

hermit...easy man.try setting back ur gc using nvidia tune.

haha, my ntune doesnt work.

Q to pros here, I'm using a Colorful 9600GT Stock OCed with zalman cooler. Stock is 700 core/1750 shader/1000 mem on a P35-DS3 with a Q6600 OCed to 3.2GHz with 1.4v.

how come when I OC with RivaTuner 2.09, I get to OC to max 780/1810/1080 in RivaTuner and running stable with ATI Tool scan for artifact, but when i try to restart with that OC, it's not stable and can't boot. Is there any other better sftware to use when testing for stability with GC?

or should i push it higher? even modded the cooler by adding 2x90mm Delta fans for cooling the GC.

To all:

Heat is not always the limiting factor in OC'ing. The processor needs to perform a logic operation that gets routed through the front side bus to the memory and back to the processor.

We try to crank out the FSB to get that cycle (measured in Hz) to move quicker, but if the result comes back before the processor is ready, you will get a logic error = system crash, or lockup. This can happen at the limit of the processors core architecture even while heat isn't seriously high.

Chips are manufactured in 'bins' and some will be created better than others.

Intel or NVidia can't possibly sell only Core 2 Extremes or 280GTX's because the market isn't large enough for high end stuff. So even if 80 out of 100 die's meet the specs to become a high end processor, they won't use all 80 for that purpose, some will be thrown into a lesser setup so that they can still turn over a profit.

So those of us that get these lucky gems, can get unbelievable overclocks, and those that get stuck with the bad die's may not get much. Manufacturer's usually have a specified minimum margin for any given chipset, so that they can still run at their rated speed in a worse case scenario.

Generally OC'er try to control the environment the processor is faced with (more voltage, better cooling, better supporting architecture, etc.) and can run to the higher end of that margin.

So don't be upset if you can't crank that mofo up, even if it seems like it's not getting up to any detectable limit.

And while a huge gain sounds good and looks good, silent corruption can still occur, so if you're doing work, best to keep that margin that the manufacturers left, or at least some portion.

Just my two sen.

i have 4gb ddr ram , intel c2q 9550 and powercolor HD4870 1gb ddr5 using vista , but my score is only 13k+ , is it normal? i never overclock the processor and graphic card.
